Company Summary

On sport & music events, despite being sold out, up to 10% of seats remain empty. Seaters is unique in the sense that it’s the only tool that generates a pull of demand for events instead of being on more push of seats into an overcrowded market. A large EU bank reduced it's empty seats from 24% to 1.1% by filling empty seats with employees in private waiting lists. Next step is to open waiting lists for B2C customers of that bank.
